Decent Sinatra Junk with J.St.John!
9 September 2004
Another 60's COP SINATRA flick about nothing, but with the usual amount of a bevy of beautiful women (and Actresses). Jill St. John once again, she knew the Rat Pack, blesses a "decent" crime film with her presence with an actual character (who Sinatra doesn't date). Typical stuff, from the director and supp. cast (the men - cronies of Frankie from Vegas who know they can't act (even in'67)), but it's on the beach and Frankie will solve his case. Thank you America!

A 5 out of 10 (mainly because of Ms. St. John's character) that plods and wipes it's brow and guys still wearing hats (post Sgt. Pepper's) ACTING HIP...I guess. A sense of humor would come in handy EVEN THEN, Mr. Sinatra.

Anyway, it's not terrible..the crime stuff is feasible (plot-wise), but it's mainly (Sinatra played this character again POST-Rat Pack) Sinatra running down babes to say cool lines (from the 50's) because he probably produced this flick. If you excerpt the Frank lines when he is talking to "suspects" or babes, there's actually a detective story happening. Thank you Jill St. John. Standard basic stuff, with a few "interesting" twists (but not from Frank's Oscar-winning acting capabilities..no offence). A 5 out of 10!
